HS-655 Cannot hear when answering from headset

Hi all,

I hope you can help with this.. I just bought a HS-655 headset and paired it with my new Curve 8300. I use my Curve to make calls and to answer calls manually from the phone while the headset is paired. I can talk and hear perfectly through the headset.

However, when i receive a call and use the HS-655 Answer Button to answer it, i am unable to hear the caller. I am having to answer the call manually from the Curve itself in order to hear the caller. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Many thanks,

I have a BB 8830 and found the same issue when I tried a 655 headset. Have you found a work-around yet?

Sorry, this is way off from the original post but I figured it'd be better than starting a whole new thread...

What color is the HS-655? CrackBerry's store pictures it as a blue/gray color and the BlackBerry store pictures it as both blue/gray and black/silver. Is it offered in both color schemes or as just the blue/gray and the black/silver was an early model?
